Abstract

A digital photo frame printer includes a printer casing module, an image-capturing module, an image-processing module, an image-displaying module, and an image-printing module. The image-capturing module is disposed in the printer casing module for capturing images of external objects. The image-processing module is disposed in the printer casing module and electrically connected with the image-capturing module for processing the images that have been captured via the image-capturing module. The image-displaying module is disposed in the printer casing module and electrically connected with the image-processing module for displaying images that have been processed via the image-processing module. The image-printing module is disposed in the printer casing module and electrically connected with the image-processing module for printing images that have been processed via the image-processing module.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A digital photo frame printer, comprising:
 a printer casing module;   an image-capturing module disposed in the printer casing module for capturing images of external objects;   an image-processing module disposed in the printer casing module and electrically connected with the image-capturing module for processing the images that have been captured via the image-capturing module;   an image-displaying module disposed in the printer casing module and electrically connected with the image-processing module for displaying images that have been processed via the image-processing module; and   an image-printing module disposed in the printer casing module and electrically connected with the image-processing module for printing images that have been processed via the image-processing module.   
     
     
         2 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the image-capturing module is an image-capturing device for automatically or manually adjusting an image-capturing angle and an image-capturing focal length. 
     
     
         3 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the image-capturing module has a light sensor and a lens set connected with the light sensor. 
     
     
         4 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the light sensor is a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) sensor. 
     
     
         5 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the light sensor is a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor. 
     
     
         6 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the image-capturing module has a night shot function. 
     
     
         7 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the image-displaying module is an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or a touch screen display. 
     
     
         8 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the image-printing module has a built-in drum case. 
     
     
         9 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the image-printing module is a thermal transfer printer. 
     
     
         10 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a motion-sensing module disposed in the printer casing module and electrically connected with the image-processing module for sensing motions of the external objects and ordering the image-processing module to drive the image-capturing module to capture the images of the external objects. 
     
     
         11 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the motion-sensing module is an infrared sensor, a microwave sensor, a temperature sensor, or a sound sensor. 
     
     
         12 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an electrical connector module disposed in the printer casing module and electrically connected with the image-processing module, wherein the image-processing module makes image data that is stored in an external storage device pass through the electrical connector module and displayed on the image-displaying module or printed out from the image-printing module. 
     
     
         13 . The digital photo frame printer as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the electrical connector module has an input/output unit electrically connected with the image-processing module and a connection unit electrically connected with the image-displaying module.
